I know there are a lot of really good brushes that cost money, but I'd like to ask specifically for free Photoshop brushes that you have tried and liked. Please recommend me some good ones. :slight_smile:

Well, I absolutely LOVE the Loish Brush set, available on gumroad for free:

I've been using them for years now, one especially for sketching as it gives a soft nice feeling to it <3

My favorite brush set, I use two of them nearly daily and there's a wide variety of other stuff in there, by Houston Sharp!

Also with a good variety, Jonas De Ro's set!

Kyle Webster55 has a few "pay what you can" brushes. I'm pretty sure you could just pay $0? I don't know for sure. When I bought these I think I still gave $2. I got the Mr. Natural Brush first, as it was highly recommended to me and I loved it. Then later (when I had $$!) I bought all of them -
LOVE the gouache kit. These all download as tool presets.

Kecky28 also has a pencil set I love, also a pay what you can. This one I bought when I had money though, so once again I chipped in some change :slight_smile: I'm quite certain you can download them for free though. This is the one I probably use the most now. This one downloads as a brush.

I got these from great artists and 2 of them are creators(who in my opinion are the best) on tapas! Praise their generosity.:tada::sparkles::heart::sob::raised_hands::star:

WLOP746(Ghostblade)- he is my all time favorite. i got really excited after i found this link and the sample artworks he made with his free goodies. surprisingly, he only used a small set of simple brushes! if you don't know him, you're missing out
Mac Smith183(Scurry)- this guy got killer skills and he sells his brushes on gumroad for................... $0!!!

I just found these 3 while searching for rainbows and glitters on DA so i don't really know them but they are undeniably awesome.

I hope you'll make the best out of these!

Sycra53 Has a ton of resources for drawing, including free brushes. I used them before I found Kyle T. Websters52, but you gotta pay for those (Though I think they are very cheap compared to how many you get).

Thanks so much for the recommendations you guys! I have so many new brushes now lol.

I'm obsessed with Creative Market49. I mainly use them for fonts for book formatting, but they also have a ton of brushes. I get a weekly email digest from them of freebies that usually includes some brushes.

The Kyle Webster brushes are boss! I've been using them sporadically throughout my comics...

Still looking for a grungy-like texture brush/brushes that would great when I have background-less panels. Right now, I've been toggling back to Clip Studio coz the one brush that comes close to it is in that program- however, the brush looks right with some colors/schemes, but not all.
